so in that case aspm_disabled, never get set.
booting path: pcie_aspm_init_link_state will not touch aspm on pre-1.1 devices.

late, FADT checking will cause pcie_clear_aspm() get called, it will
call __pci_disable_link_state, and because following line in
pcie_aspm_link()
        /* Nothing to do if the link is already in the requested state */
        state &= (link->aspm_capable & ~link->aspm_disable);
        if (link->aspm_enabled == state)
                return;
aspm in pre-1.1 devices still does not get touched.

Maybe I miss something.
